Option 1 as of this morning, motivated by work (though I'm enjoying what I'm doing there recently).  I actually want to play Eve, but 'stuff is happening' at work that makes it worthwhile not to be involved in anything that controversial.   :P

My plans beyond Eve were mentioned in their forum a few times, and will stick to it; I'm dropping from online gaming as a whole.  I still have the option to pursue SL or one of SL's open-source worlds, but I don't have the same drive that I used to.  It's far more likely that I'll go back to my website to comment on things again (perhaps some Eve fiction now and then too), and continue a private project related to monitoring in Nagios/Icinga/etc environments.

I have also taken option 1.

On my second month of leave, though practically I stopped playing EVE four-five months ago. I am surprised how easy the break has been and while not completely vanished yet, my interest in EVE has been steadily diminishing during the break.

Still hoping one day to read a dev blog about something I care about.

My interest goes in cycles, I've found. I'm quite recently back from a long period of near-inactivity. Some of the recent changes annoyed me at first, but I've quickly grown used to them. Other changes I highly approve of, such as the love the tech 1 frigs are currently getting. Plus, I've had some amazing RP since returning.

On some level I'm a bitter old vet (yeah, I'm not thrilled about the Tony G metaplot either), but although I miss some of the old stuff, I really enjoy the new EVE, too.
